Although boosting was formulated in a propositional learning context, the same ideas can be applied to first-order learning (also known as inductive logic programming). Boosting is used here with a system that learns relational definitions of functions. Results show that the occasional negative impact of boosting all resemble the corresponding observations for propositional learning.}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2cc01ba6febdfff75007432ecca0ad4da/mh}, keywords = {inductive_logic_programming inductive_programming ILP FFOIL FOIL boosting} }
